Also like Harry said Topper's might be easy to make move but the racing is very tactical and good challenge and they have the added bonus of you being able to take them out when other boats really struggle !...........although that might be  down to the sailor  

Don't worry mate - you are technically correct all Laser/RS boats are plastic!

5 years ago, before the advent of ROTA-moulded boats, any dinghy not made of wood was called plastic but now people seem to talk about plastic boats meaning exclusively rota-moulded.

yer i no what you mean.  if you look at a plastic boat they have a dull finish and dont shine.  but if you look at a normal boat the finish on most is very good and shines!!!!

If you try hard you can make a topper shine...................I am in the process of sanding the foils on my Topper to get ri of the scratches which someone said i should do !

 

I guess i don't want extra drag !
